AdMaestro in self-flattery, There are amazing effect. That's because playing admaestro is to become a conductor.

Beethoven Symphony No. 3 "hero" is  edited by one beat per measure. Everybody can begin this great work with delight., It is really easy.But after the main theme,  there are some measures that has no sound as a first beat, You have to point the first beat to the orchestra . This is the beginning of trouble if you have not good sense of metrical sense.

Don't worry. If you try several times consulting with a score, you will find yourself much improved in metrical sense.
Give it a try!
